We all know him. He does some stunning and breath taking work. His name is synonymous with deer hair. In fact I would bet that if one mentioned the name Pat Cohen in fly tying circles, those listening would immediately start thinking about golden bronze backs and multicolored, vivid 1/0 flies tied with deer hair. Hell, the man has a gift. He, without a doubt, does some of the best work with deer hair the fly tying community has ever seen. His punk rockers alone are mind blowing. I am sure his artist background has helped a lot but damn can the guy tie a mean bass bug. Recently, Pat branched out and made a video about stacked deer hair. I, of course, had to have it. As soon as I could afford it, I bought it. I mean who wouldn't want to tie bass bugs like Pat does??? Naturally I have visions in my head of turning out some masterpiece shortly after watching this video which I know is not the case but hard not to dream about. Sadly I have not had a chance to watch it yet but I am sure based upon his work it will be awesome. I will let you all know how it is when I watch it and create my very own stacked deer hair diver.
Very nice blog, thanks for your generous info. More power to you!
